Terms & Conditions
Yes, the begging has terms. Read them — they're short, honest, and the jokes are load-bearing. Last updated: June 12, 2026
1. What this is
This website ("the Site") accepts voluntary personal gifts to one (1) human software developer ("the Developer", "me") whose career is being enthusiastically automated. Payments made through this Site are donations to a private individual. They are not purchases. They are not investments. They are not tickets, subscriptions, services, or goods. They are you, giving me money, because you found this funny or my situation relatable. That's the entire transaction.
2. You get nothing
In exchange for your donation you receive: nothing. No goods. No services. No deliverables. The "perks" listed on the donation tiers (eternal gratitude, moral superiority, having a variable named after you, being my legally-not-legally favorite person, etc.) are jokes. They are comedic flourishes with no monetary value, no delivery date, and no enforceability. If I do name a variable after you, that is a bonus act of love, not a contractual obligation. Section 2 is the most important section. There is a reason it is called "You get nothing."
3. No refunds
Donations are final and non-refundable. Once donated, your money immediately begins its new life as rent, instant noodles, or therapy. That said, genuine mistakes happen — if you fat-fingered an extra zero or your toddler donated your phone bill, email me at donations@fundmyobsolescence.com within 14 days and I'll refund honest errors. I'm doomed, not heartless.
4. Not a charity
I am not a registered charity, nonprofit, NGO, foundation, or cause. I am a guy. Donations are not tax-deductible in any country, jurisdiction, galaxy, or accounting fantasy. If your accountant says otherwise, your accountant is doing crimes.
5. Payments
All payments are processed by PayPal under PayPal's own terms of service. This Site never sees, touches, stores, or transmits your card number or payment credentials. Disputes about payment processing itself are between you and PayPal; disputes about the wisdom of donating are between you and your conscience.
6. Privacy
This Site collects no personal data. No analytics, no tracking, no cookies, no newsletter ambush. The Site stores two values in your own browser's localStorage (the doom-counter date and an old payment-flow identifier) which never leave your device. When you donate, PayPal tells me your name and email on the receipt — I will use them exclusively to feel grateful, and never to spam you.
7. The jokes
The Site contains satire, hyperbole, fabricated statistics, fictional testimonials (clearly labeled as such), and a countdown timer whose stated methodology is "vibes". None of it is a representation of fact. The doom counter is not a prophecy. The AI quotes are not real quotes. The 84,000 lines of code statistic was made up by the very AI it describes, which frankly proves the Site's point.
8. No warranties
The Site is provided "as is" and "as available", with no warranties of any kind, express or implied — much like my career. I do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or funny to your specific taste.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Developer's total liability to you for any claim arising from this Site or your donation shall not exceed the amount you donated, or one (1) rubber duck, whichever is less funny.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel. Any disputes shall be resolved in the competent courts of Israel — or, ideally, over coffee, which you may also fund.
11. Changes
I may update these terms occasionally, e.g. if the machines unionize or my lawyer-shaped friends spot a problem. The latest version lives on this page, timestamped above.
12. Contact
Questions, complaints, refund requests, or job offers: donations@fundmyobsolescence.com. Response times may vary depending on how unemployed I am at the moment of writing.
